aheadWorks Product Questions

The Product Questions extension enables your visitors to ask a question directly on the product page. The store administrator reviews the incoming questions and answers them on his own or gives such an opportunity to other store visitors. Since version 2.0, this new feature allows you to quickly drive the content of your Magento store and grow powerful community.

The question and answer appear together on the same page below the product description. All Q&As relevant to multiple items can be assigned to other product pages.

The module uses email notifications to inform the administrator and a customer about a new question/answer and its status update. You can also send emails to clients suggesting them to leave feedback and answer visitor’s question regarding the product bought.

Features for visitors/customers

A one-click form to ask a question
The module adds a special “Ask a Question” form on every product page and allows your store visitors to acquire all the required information.

Questions bank
All questions with replies are displayed below product description. Customers can refer to previous questions asked by other visitors and find some additional and useful information regarding the item.

Interaction with other clients
The extension gives your clients a possibility to share the gained experience with your company and products by answering product-assigned questions from other clients. The most helpful questions are shown first (both administrator and visitors can rate helpfulness).

Product Questions tab in My Account
The Product Questions Magento module adds a special tab into customer’s account area, where a user can observe whether the question is approved and answered, check the status of the replies, and see the link to the products he has discussed.

Privacy option
Let your visitors feel safe and private on your website by allowing them to make their questions (with answers) invisible for other users. A customer can make his question a private one. Private questions will be answered via email only and won’t be displayed in the frontend.

Answer questions from the backend or let visitors do your work
Every time new questions and answers are published, the content of product pages is refreshed what attracts additional relevant search traffic. You can supply the content yourself by adding any number of answers from the backend (as administrator, customer, or guest) or let visitors post replies. The Magento Product Questions extension gives you a possibility to decide who can write answers:

only registered customers

both guests and registered customers

In such a way, your visitors help you keep the content of product pages relatively fresh, which is one of the keys to successful SEO.
